An afternoon at Ashley & Matteson's home!

Ashley and Matteson invited us all to their home for dinner. It was really nice having some of us there before Matt leaves this week. They have a lovely home. We had a wonderful time...thank you Ashley and Matteson! Alcides

2 Elders that we have not heard about in a while

Elder Giler and Elder Buehner, two friends of Elder Page are doing well on their missions. Chase is in Oakland CA and Zack is in India. These are the first pictures we have seen of Chase. I hear he is loving it and having lots of success. He has been out about 16 mths. Zack is in India. It looks like he is doing well also. He has been out about 10 mths. It is crazy how fast their time goes by! Continued blessings Elders, we love you.

Elder Page...4 more months

This is from this past monday night. We had dinner at the Fraziers. They are a
younger couple in the ward that we really like. They have 2 boys, Max, who is 3 or 4 and
Fox, who is almost 2. They are really fun and we love going over. We actually had FHE
with them since it was monday night and we talked about the story of Balaam and his
talking donkey. We acted it out with Max and it was tons of fun. I can't wait to do that
with my kids someday! Anyways, the picture is of max (Balaam) riding on my back (I was
the donkey). :) He is such a funny little guy. :)

A Night at the Soccer Game!!!

Myra and Lindsey came down to watch one of Zach's soccer games, and to see Matthew for the last time before he leaves on Tuesday. It was a nice visit from them, and the boys won their game. I don't know what I will do with my time whenever that last soccer game comes around in a few years :) We do love going to support them in something that they love to do.

To Matthew From Tory!

This is a video that Tory made for Matthew. We thought it was pretty cute and very Tory! Attention: Song title? Pay special attention to the end of the Video and the tribute that was made to Matt and his Mission...AZ

Savior, Redeemer of my Soul

yeah!!!! I finally got this downloaded to the blog for Elder Page to hear. This is what Matthew and Elder Burk sang last Sunday at church. (This is them practicing) It was beautiful. Wish Dallin could have been here to enjoy this and hearing Matt's talk, but this is the next best thing.

Got to love a Sunday Afternoon

Gotta love a sunday afternoon. Today was Stake Conference, so we actually had a sunday afternoon. Usually we are at church. It was a great conference. Saturday is always the best session, you learn so much. The Missionaries came home with us afterwards. It has been a nice day, every one is taking a little nap, reading or playing the piano!

Zachary fell asleep...as usual. So they were having fun with him!

Elder Hutchins and Elder Burk after sunday dinner. Their dinner appointment got canceled so we had them over to join us (can't have them eatting alone on a sunday!) We love having them over. "Smile to your mom's guys!"

Temple Day!

Today was a wonderful day at the temple. Steve, Matt and I went to the Raleigh Temple today. It was a great day for our family. The day started out rainy and dreary, but it turned into a beautiful day. We missed Grandma Peggy ( we hope you are feeling better soon!) and Grandpa Jack. Grandma Myra and Grandpa Lindsey were there and Aunt Anne. We are glad they could join us on such a great occassion. Matt is going to be a wonderful missionary. We love you Matt.
